The Helion

Overview

The ultimate in Shoot-'em-ups.

A remarkable 101 levels that really test the reflexes and coordination of even the most persistent alien blaster. If you fancy a challenge, try to complete all of the 101 levls from scratch. For those of you who wish to cheat though, it is possible to start a new game only a level or two below where you were finally killed in the old game.

-From the inside cassette flap info.

The game's trippy graphic style and fast paced gameplay borrows somewhat heavily from Jeff Minter.

This was originally a game on the Oric-1 and Oric Atmos computers in 1984.
